How can fabrics contribute to your interior design?

Furniture and fittings play a central role in how we enjoy and experience our homes — so chairs, sofas, curtains and other furnishings should always be at the centre of our interior design choices.

Here we look at just a few of the ways that fabric choices can help to define every room in your home, adding class and comfort to any living space.

Use as a feature piece

Items of furniture such as a sofa or bed will often sit in the middle of a room, so their upholstery can be used to help develop a strong central theme. Similarly, windows are a natural focal point within a living space, so the curtains or drapes used to frame them can become a core element.

Setting the tone

Well-chosen fabrics can be used to set the tone of a room and can amplify or quieten the features of the living spaces in your home. This gives an interior designer the perfect opportunity to add a new theme to a room — from warmth and cosiness in living rooms to light and crispness in a bedroom.

Look and feel

With such a vast selection of colours, fabrics and textures available, clever design choices can really ignite an interior design concept. Even the choice of natural or synthetic fabrics can influence the look and feel of a room — adding a feel of luxury and expense or a cool, casual feel.

Spatial illusion

If you are decorating a small or cramped room, different fabrics and patterns can be used effectively to add the illusion of space and depth. For example, using horizontal stripes can help to make a narrow room feel wider, whereas vertical stripes can make a low ceiling look higher!
